As September 18th creeps a little closer, the track list for Cruel Summer has been revealed thanks to Japan’s HMV. Features include R. Kelly, Jay-Z, Mase and more. Excited yet? You will be. Remember – The final track list may look a little different, seeing that the international version may differ from that released here in the states.

FSD Beats sets out to build awareness of Chicago’s top up-and-coming producers — something we have an abundance of. No need to seek other cities for your sound — we have the cream of the crop right here.

We’ll be offering up new instrumentals from rising producers weekly — free of charge — for you to rock over (and so you’ll stop rapping over “I Got That Sack”). If you like what you hear, please reach out to the beat smiths to inquire about how you can work with them in the future. Got it? Utilization is key.

Today we’re happy to present the first official single from the Loud Chicago Sounds mixtape, which drops in full on September 5th. Presented by the SAE Institute and Leaders 1354, Loud Chicago Sounds, is a new project that celebrates the opening of the SAE Institute in Chicago.

And next Wednesday (9/5) at 7pm, you can see the artists featured on the project perform live at Leaders at The Loud Live Series. Details for that are below, and you can also check out the Facebook invite here.

“Out Of Sight” is off Kelsey’s up coming EP, Delightful Sadness, and her first single is “10,000 Bombs” which will be released on 9/11. Check out her site here.

Jaye hasn’t disappointed since first catching our ears and that doesn’t change as he drops off his new project, Fiat Lvx. Featuring appearances and production from Slim K, Ab-Soul, Joe Hodges, Daniel Worthy, Thias and more.

The video for Rockie and Rozay’s “You A Lie” remix is on the way, so it was only right that a preview be liberated in true MMG fashion. After checking out the trailer, stay tuned to check out Rockie’s Electric Highway tour dates and see when he’ll be in your city. Look for the full visual to impact soon.
